[EBB Sightings] American Bittern at Contra Loma Regional Park

Good morning,

Can anyone tell me if there have been any recent sightings of the Bittern? 

I have not been out to Contra Loma, so if anyone can provide directions to
the location(s) where we could expect to see the Bittern it would be
appreciated.  We have kayaks, so if sightings are better from the water
side, please let me know.

Thanks,

Kim

Good morning birders,

Yesterday  morning four birders had very nice views of an American  
Bittern at Contra Loma
Reservoir.  This bird was most likely the same one that was reported  
on January 20.  After four
hours of casual birding we tallied an additional 47 species which  
included the following
noteworthy birds: Greater White-fronted Goose, Glaucous-winged Gull,  
Virginia Rail and Burrowing
Owl.

Good birding,
Paul Schorr, Antioch
